UNSPSC 85717027: Drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0R944ZZ

UNSPSC 85717027 Drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to spinal surgical procedures or any orthopedic intervention. The code's nominal scope (a specific neurosurgical procedure) does not align with the administrative healthcare, staffing, and benefit-management services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this classification. This represents either a systematic tagging error in the procurement system or a misuse of clinical procedure codes to classify non-clinical healthcare contracting activities. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement-relevant decision-making purposes.
